What is ‘Ahead of the Game’?

Ahead of the Game is a newly developed program to improve youth mental health through community sport. It targets adolescent male mental health by engaging with the whole community around the local sports club.

It involves a series of different programs which have been designed with input from young male athletes, coaches, and families in the Illawarra region.
